I am the emotional sustenance of your deceased

He lowered his head and ran faster, closing his eyes and not daring to face the real world.

"Everything will be settled soon!"

……

Soon... everything will be settled.

On the first day after leaving the Toyokawa family with his father, Shoko Toyokawa's sharpness was mostly worn away.

The dark and cramped rental house was filled with junk, and it didn't even feel as good as the toilet in the side room of the Toyokawa mansion.

Dark, damp, hot, messy, chaotic, and simple, but cheap.

The price is really cheap.

"Father, stop drinking. Let's find a way to get home, shall we?"

"Do I need you to take care of my business?" Toyokawa Qinggao was drunk, but he became upset after hearing what Xiangzi said.

With a drunken look on his face, he threw the empty bottle at Toyokawa Shoko without any hesitation.

"Father...Alas."

Xiangzi didn't say much and even felt numb.

【How did my father become like this? 】

Last night she slept alone for the first time in a long time. The tatami was cold and the house was leaking. Without her sister, she felt that her future in life was chaotic and gloomy.

buzz-

The ringing of the cell phone interrupted Xiangzi's melancholy. She curled up in the corner and answered the call. It was her bandmate Nagasaki Suyo calling to greet her.

"Okay, okay. I'm sorry Sushi, but I'm busy lately. I'll contact you later."

call--

Shoko Toyokawa had never felt so tired before, and she found that she could not sit idle.

Obviously, I started to miss Xiaosui again.

"Perhaps I shouldn't have run away so decisively at that time, but... if I had hesitated, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to leave."

I can't abandon my father, I can't bear to leave my sister, and my grandfather's pressure is exerted again and again. How did my life come to this point?

Barefoot and wearing white short socks, Xiangzi stood on the balcony looking out at the scenery.

In just one day, she went from being a young lady to a poor child living in a cheap rental house. To be honest, the family savings were not very sufficient, so the money she brought with her was not scarce.

"We shouldn't be short of money, and we can still hold on for a while... I just hope Dad won't go out and spend money recklessly anymore."

The air was so humid that it was choking. Shoko Toyokawa tried her best to think of happy things to stop herself from missing Chitose Toyokawa.

"I hope Xiao Sui is receiving treatment well at home... I really hope I can go back tomorrow."

The rain in Tokyo continued to fall, getting heavier and heavier, and even the visibility not far away was reduced.

It was just cloudy not long ago, but the weather is so changeable. If you happen to forget to bring an umbrella when you go out today, you will be in big trouble.

Xiangzi turned around and prepared to go back to her room to continue cleaning. The leaking roof in the house was a headache, and at this moment her eyes subconsciously looked outside.

But then I saw a figure standing in the rain.

The long gray-blue hair was wet by the rain, the girl with red-gold pupils, oh, you are——

Ch469.So we started our miserable life

Admittedly, making Toyokawa Shoko regret for the rest of her life is easier than drinking water, but how to make her feel more uncomfortable and regretful while providing her with a sufficient lifespan is a skill and a science.

As a practitioner of lifelong regrets, Ms. Chitose Noshiro has her own special method of lifelong regrets.

"Psychosis, it's super useful."

The person you love most is gradually going insane, and you are helpless and may even be the culprit causing their illness and worsening their condition. In the end, all your efforts and struggles are in vain...

It will be very interesting, lovely Xiangzi!

Walking on the way to Toyokawa Shoko's new home, Chitose was barefoot and all her clothes were soaked.

She didn't leave in a normal way! She escaped! But this was all part of the plan.

"Many times, acting alone is not enough to convince the audience."

At this time, props and external help are needed.

In order to become a qualified mental patient, Chitose Noshiro believes that one needs to start from two aspects.

First, it is a performance that seems abnormal.

[Eradication: This feature can only be used once per year. After using this feature independently, you can designate a target when you suffer a mental trauma, causing the designated person to receive a synchronized mental influence. Required lifespan: three months.]

The second is social recognition, because in the face of authoritative certification, no one will dare to question it for no reason.

[Order: Locking Skill. Allows the user to be mentally affected without limit, allowing the user to remain conscious even under constant mental influence. Required lifespan: zero years.]

[Transformation: Locked Skill. Each time the mental influence reaches a certain level, a new mental illness is acquired. This trait is primarily used for medical testing and does not directly affect the host's condition. Required lifespan is one month.]

The rain washed over Qiansui's heart, cleansing away all her bad thoughts.

Her pupils became dilated, as if she had gone mad.

That's the way it is.

……

"Is that...years old?"

Shoko Toyokawa rubbed her eyes in disbelief as the brilliant colors in the distance kept approaching her.

Little by little, step by step, what finally came into view was... the girl who was familiar to the core!

She walked unsteadily, looking like a desperately ill patient seeking medicine.

"Xiao Sui! Xiao Sui...why are you here?"

Standing on the windowsill, she shouted desperately, but Toyokawa Shoko had no idea that Toyokawa Chitose completely ignored her.

She wandered on the street by herself, her swaying figure looking like she would fall at any moment.

[And once you fall, can you really get up again? ]

She searched anxiously, but Toyokawa Shoko couldn't find the umbrella in the room no matter what.

"Father! Where's the umbrella I brought that day?!"

"Ah... I forgot it at the bar. I'll get it back for you later."

"..."

If it weren't for the education that Toyokawa Shoko received since childhood that didn't allow it, she would have wanted to pack her luggage and leave right now.

But when she thought of Toyokawa Sadaharu's loose, serious and old-fashioned face, she felt disgusted.

"..."

Xiangzi gritted her teeth and didn't say another word. She rushed downstairs desperately.

But when she got downstairs, she found that the rain was really heavy. When she stretched her left foot outdoors, she suspected that she was hit by a bullet falling from the sky.

"Xiao Sui? Is that you...ah, it really is you."

The shoes were filled with rainwater, and every step he took would splash out a large pool of water from the shoes. As Xiangzi's pace increased, the left shoe was even thrown out.

The shoes disappeared in the rain, just like something lost in Xiangzi's heart.

Feelings of heartache and sadness intertwined, Xiangzi quickly walked to Qiansui's side.

As she got closer, she could hear clearly what Chitose was saying.

"Don't leave me...don't...don't abandon me...Xiaoxiang...Xiaoxiang..."

The whispered words were like piercing glass shards, which pierced Xiangzi's heart in just a moment.

"Xiao Sui! Why did you come out? Where are your rain gear and shoes? Where is your scarf? You—"

Toyokawa Shoko seemed to realize something and covered her mouth in disbelief.

【Did you escape by yourself?】

Did he get some information from his grandfather or some servant and then run away without looking back?

"Xiao Sui, it's me. What's wrong with you?"

The rain blocked his view, and it was not until this moment that Xiangzi fully realized that something was wrong and strange about Qiansui.

Qiansui seemed to have lost his soul, and his eyes were no longer bright.

It was dim, she looked pale, it was turbid, she was in a mess...

"Xiang? Ah, is this an illusion again...Xiangzi doesn't want me anymore, Xiangzi doesn't want me again..."

In a daze, she pushed away Shoko Toyokawa's arms, and Chitose Noshiro lost her balance in an instant.

"careful!"

Shoko Toyokawa, who was pushed aside, could only watch her sister plunge into a small puddle. The stones cut her arms, leaving several bloody cuts, but Chitose didn't care at all.

She continued to babble on and on, and her appearance only frightened Xiangzi.

"Xiao Sui... is the disease coming back? It's all over, it's all over..."

Could it be that my departure has caused Chitose's mental state to deteriorate again?

Ignoring Chitose Toyokawa's resistance, Shoko Toyokawa went forward, hugged Chitose and walked home.

Ah, home... heading towards my temporary home...

“Don’t touch me…I want Xiaoxiang…I want Xiaoxiang!”

It was not until he hugged Chitose that he realized how burning the other's body was. Xiangzi bit his lips until they turned white and bled. For a moment, even breathing became difficult to a certain extent.

[Damn it, what have I done?!]

"Xiao Xiang... wuwu... don't leave me, don't leave me alone... We agreed that you would be my other half, that we would only be complete when we were together, so why are you leaving me again..."

"I, I'm here, 20... I'm just leaving temporarily, I'm going to take you home now... I'm now..."

Just as Toyokawa Shoko was trying hard to comfort the other person, she found that Chitose could no longer hold on and fainted.

And just at this moment, they finally walked back to the corridor after going through countless hardships.

One of them was barefoot without boots or socks, and the other one had lost one of his shoes. God knows how he managed to walk back in the rain that was so painful.

"We're here...finally...Xiao Sui, we're here."

Chitose Toyokawa's body temperature melted the rain, but Xiangzi felt that there was more to it than that.

Chitose's tears rolled down her cheeks. Toyokawa Shoko tried to catch them but she found that she had no strength in her hands.

[It's probably because I worked too hard cleaning.]

Toyokawa Shoko was upset by her sister's soft panting.

She didn't notice that the sky cleared up shortly after she turned and left.

Ch470. The dagger is revealed! Ruoye Mu's little thoughts

Qiansui closed his eyes and slept for the whole day.

Shoko Toyokawa thought that her father would help her take care of her sister after returning home.

But that's not the case.

My father was drunk, passed out, and passed out.

When she saw the half-full glass of beer falling from her father's hand and slowly onto the floor, Toyokawa Shoko felt an unprecedented level of remorse.

She began to doubt whether it was the right decision to leave her family and take care of her father for such a reason.

"Ugh."

The room was empty, and the poor air was the only furniture here.

"Balzac said, I will crush any suffering."
